About This Document This compendium provides categorized information about new features, migration issues, and fallback considerations for H06.24. It also includes references and sources for migration planning. Supported Release Version Updates (RVUs) This manual supports the H06.24 RVU only. Intended Audience This compendium is written for system managers or anyone who needs to understand how migrating to H06.
1 H06.24 Overview This chapter provides an overview of the H06.24 RVU. Major New Features Table 1 summarizes the main changes in H06.24. For descriptions of new features, see the appropriate chapters. Table 1 Summary of the H06.
Preparation, Planning, and Migration • If you are migrating from a G-series to an H-series RVU, before you begin migrating applications, contact your HP representative to analyze your applications and identify specific modules and program components that require changes for migration to an H-series RVU. • For the physical, electrical, and environmental specifications used by HP professional service providers for site preparation, see the planning guide for the server you are running.
2 Operating System New TACL Parameter Allows You to Bind a Portmapper Process to a Single Subnet This RVU introduces a new TACL parameter, PORTMAPˆBINDˆIP, which allows you to bind a portmapper process to a single subnet. To bind the process to a single subnet instead of the default, INADDR_ANY, set the TACL PORTMAPˆBINDˆIP parameter to an IP address before you start the portmapper process. The IP address must be an IPv4 address in dotted-decimal format.
NOTE: HP recommends that you use DSM/SCM or NonStop Software Essentials to manage your Open System Services files. The default for the Manage OSS Files option in the DSM/SCM planner interface and NonStop Software Essentials is selected for H-series Release Version Updates (RVUs). If you use DSM/SCM or NonStop Software Essentials with the Manage OSS Files option selected, you do not need to perform any additional steps when upgrading to a new RVU or when falling back to a previous RVU.
3 Application Development Products TS/MP 2.5 TS/MP 2.5 is the latest ACS based TS/MP release with the following features: • Faster release of dynamic server links. • Limited support for Pathway domains across nodes. • Faster server shutdown and restart by reducing the server process cleanup time. • Improved CPU utilization and load-balancing after a CPU reload. • Support for large Pathsend dialog messages. • Umask support for OSS servers.
TS/MP 2.5 Support in JToolkit The following features are supported in NonStop Java JToolkit for TS/MP 2.5 release: • Support for context sensitive large Pathsend dialog messages up to 2 MB. • New class introduced is TsmpDialogWide in the package com.tandem.tsmp. Migration Considerations Users need to upgrade their system to TS/MP 2.5 along with latest PThreads supporting TS/MP 2.5 to make use of the above context-sensitive large Pathsend dialog based communication in their application.
4 Database and Transaction Processing Products No new features in the H06.24 RVU.
5 Installation and Configuration Products Availability of NonStop Software Essentials The HP NonStop Software Essentials server component is now available on H06.24 and later SUTs. The NonStop Software Essentials client components for Windows and Linux can be installed from the HP Insight Control for NonStop DVD that ships along with the NonStop System Console Installer DVD. NonStop Software Essentials is a software installation and management tool for all NonStop servers.
6 Manageability and Security Products OSM Enhancements OSM Service Connection (T0682 H02 ACV) enhancements include: • A new Prepare for Down System CLIM Firmware Update action on the CLIMs object, to be used in conjunction with the Down System CLIM Firmware Update Tool. • Support for NonStop system consoles running Windows Server 2008. • Support for IPv6 (in addition to previous support for IPv4) on the operations LAN. Network Address Translation (NAT) still is supported only on IPv4.
to a user on the OBJECTTYPE USER access control list allows the user to delete any user on the system, including Super.Super. There is no change to the CREATE and OWNER permissions. • The Safeguard primary audit records will contain a blank SubjectProgramName field for events related to authorization requests originating from a remote system. For audit events generated by a local requestor, the SubjectProgramName will continue to contain the program file name of the requestor process.
7 Hardware Products Tape Backup/Restore FSF Emulation The EmulateFSF emulator is a new feature for restore operations. EMULATEFSF emulates a File Space Forward SCSI operation. This option is meant to allow faster partial restores or LISTONLY restores on specific tape drives where the tape firmware is apparently slower in doing the same operation.
8 Networking Products IP Header Packet Filtering Enables configuration support for packet filtering and processing based on examination of the fields in the IP header, as well as the TCP or UDP header. This forms the basis of a packet-filtering firewall and provides the ability to perform more sophisticated processing. Migration Considerations None. Fallback Considerations None. Obeyform Option for Clim Configuration Commands Obeyform generates user configurations of a CLIM in add command(s) format.
A Sources for Migration Assistance and Information This appendix describes the assistance HP provides when problems arise during the migration and testing process. HP also provides services that can help you develop a migration plan and implement migration tasks. Most migration and release documentation is available through the HP NonStop Technical Library (NTL).
By providing access to a data warehouse with SPR information for many different RVUs, Scout makes SPR analysis fast, easy, and accurate.
